Current release is from 2010, we'll have to recommend an alternative and last-rite this package sooner than later.
Yes, I don't think it will be ported away from pygtk. At least not by its original author.
There's media-sound/kmetronome for one possible alternative.
Do you want me to do the last-rites? Any alternatives we can put into the mask message?
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #3) I've sent an email and opened PR.

@Alexander Any chance the pyliblo library can be kept in the tree? From my usage/testing it's working fine with current Python 3 versions. I maintain two packages (in an overlay) that depend on it and repoman has been unhappy ever since the mask. There won't be any users of the library in the tree of course when gtklick gets removed, not sure if that automatically means the library gets removed as well?
In general, no, a library should have some user in the tree, unless there is some broad interest regardless - otherwise especially in python land it becomes a liability. Current ebuild would need work to keep it in tree anyway, better to do that where (and by whom) it is needed directly. Unless you want to move those packages from your overlay to gentoo.git of course.

I recommend you to import pyliblo3 into your overlay instead (if all reverse deps are compatible with python3): https://pypi.org/project/pyliblo3/
@asturm thanks for the info. I've pulled pyliblo into our overlay for now so our CI is happy again. The most relevant package that uses it is carla (https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla) which I guess might be nice to have in the gentoo tree but I currently don't have a lot of time so won't be able to move it over right now (assuming it would be accepted of course). Maybe later :)
